 | Clie NX cards (FAT or FAT32)
While Fiddling with my files, I noticed it's formatted for FAT. And my files is 162MB on my card but just over 147MB on my NTFS Windows XP.
When I formatted the card to FAT32 on my PC, the card is not recognized. Does Clie NX80 (and Palm OS5 in general) handle FAT32?

| And Fat16 only is also the reason for the 2GB max for microdrives in clies.

| Hi Boys,
I am sorry to dissapoint you all:
No FAT32 on OS4, OS5....
BTW, try formatting the memory card with a smaller cluster size. There is a forum topic about this somewhere, it should help you.
BTW, here is a short explanation about why the files bloat:
Each File on a FAT/NTFS File system needs to have a size that equals a num,ber of clusters. Lets now say that we have a cluster size of 8KB and a 4kb file-Size on disk is 8KB, because a full cluster needs to be used. | |
